"Married, Stressed and Stark"

WHAT a roller coaster ride. Remember I mentioned that today is my anniversary? Never - in all my years - has a line in a book described me more on any given day than "married, stressed and stark" describes me today after reading The Bachelor Party scene. Only in my situation, "stark" is capitalized.

I definitely would have gone to the Golden Corral. What I liked though, is that Alexander still got a night of jealousy/worry and Tatiana still got to stay true to who she is. I think she did it right.

You're absolutely right, Hildy. I like how he realizes it the moment she says that she spent the whole evening with her friend at the hospital. He knows that he deserved it (at least I think he does...), but he's also glad that she's still his sweet Tatia. :-)

(I also like how he notices that she bought a new lace girdle NOT necessarily for him! lol)

Omigod, I kept picturing a girdle as a weird typo or hideous device but after a quick google image search, saw some sexy stuff! Hello Tatiana. She's such a caretaker that it's almost necessary that he be forced to switch roles so that he values her a bit more - valuing her "heroism" in your life because she stormed a concentration camp for your ass is not the same as valuing the day to day effort a woman of this caliber puts into her marriage, you know!

Sirena,"valuing the day to day effort a woman of this caliber puts into her marriage".I know, I feel like such a lazy-ass compared to her. I always think, "what would Tatiana do?" and I always fall short, of course!
